O.M.G! Gavin the lyrics to this song are simply divine, if Roger Waters were to cover Hold On My Friend, it just would'nt sound as good as the way you sing & perform it ( & i adore Mr Waters with & without Pink Floyd)

I personally can relate to this song in more ways than one.

thankyou for writing & sharing this wonderful song with us all. x

[Gaviathan]

WOW!! Thanks for that,Roger's a living legend,shame he didn't win the court case in ?1984? cos it's not Pink Floyd without him.

Peace

[austrolapithicas]

Gavin, I have to say that Mellencamp or Springsteen (not in that order) would have to have a great night to do Hold On My Friend any better than you. Congrats on writing and performing an inspiring song that we all can take something from. You have touched that side of humanity that we all can relate to.

[Gaviathan]

An amazing compliment,thanks for that,glad you liked it.

Peace

[zigzagjim]

great song 5 stars

[Cessnal72xp]

The hallmark of many great songs contain two important values. They keep it simple but remain effective. This is one of those pieces. It includes a basic but catchy progression. I especially like the "minor" influence. It brings depth and character to your style. Keep refining your vision, there is genuine talent there...

[okcmonnow]

lol i was ahead of u big guy i lked this one to keep it up man

[oldnrone]

Good writing, I like this.

[frieddragon76]

am glad you wrote this song ...really hit home for me thanks for that..sincerely g2 bassist for Indigo Rose...

[LukeCaveman]

Just felt like listening to that song once more. Sometimes you feel like listening to The Boss, sometimes to Johnny Cash, or Bob Dylan or Nina Simone.... Depends on the mysterious logic of moods i guess. Tonight it led me to this here. Again, Gavin, what an amazing song and thx for that!

[Gaviathan]

Thanks for that,I've lost count of how many times I've listened to your moonshiner,and I've gone back to your new one quite a few times too.

Peace

[musicman196783]

Great song. I am glad johntee recommened your channel to me. Keep it up.

[Madmoe77]

This is a very good song! You can feel the words and the way you play it easily finds a home because it is sincere. Great job; for sure. I have an art page on myspace and shared it in a bulletin with several hundred other people. I hope you get the nod you deserve for your talents.

[Gaviathan]

Thanks for that,I'm glad you liked it,and glad I got the copyright sorted.Now I can relax and reap the benefits of your generosity.Cheers.

Peace

[cavaliere8]

[1dream2sing]

Get out of my head! I'm gonna go cry now.

[VellumSoftwear]

Great song, Gavin! You're a fantastic songwriter, and you play and sing it perfectly too!

[T3cHNo10GiC]

Man I keep coming back to this song. It's really touching. I wish that I could write a song like this.

[lovinbruce]

Thank you, and well done.

[Regan335dol]

Cool Gav!!! I like the flow of energy here, I am humming the chorus and the song is over. When you catch yourself singing someone elses songs, that's something to hold onto. Way to Go!!! Slainte to you man. Regan.

[90265SE14]

I've told ya once, I've told ya twice, this song is VERY good and nice! I love the words, the melody, your guitar playing, and most of all your singing.

[mooncrow17]

[Gaviathan]

Hey,don't apologize.You can't help being ill.I hope you feel better soon.Thanks for the comment.Peace

[petemcgreet]

I'm not buying records anymore. I'm mining Youtube for gold like this. Gav. Please. Please. Steal borrow buy a better mic and Record this again. Great! Thanks.

[jeff24c]

Great song, Gavin. I could really feel the deep emotion. It will help some people make it through another day. By the way, Luke Caveman turned me onto your music. Thanks for sharing.

[Mantrasolo]

Man, that was amazing! I totally needed that tonight, and favorited the video right away. Not to be nice, but just because it was awsome, lyrically and performance-wise.

[kerouac255]

Nice job Gavin! You really own this song. Terrific!

[LukeCaveman]

Same as my predecessor, i gave it another listen, i think the 18th or 20th. Man, i guess you've made yourself immortal today, what a song! Bless you and bless the friend you wrote it for.

[90265SE14]

Had to give this another listen. I wish a couple of friends who are no longer here could have heard this. Maybe they'd still be here...

[Gaviathan]

It warms my heart to think that my song has spoken to you so powerfully.Peace

[stargate34]

3:45 of Brilliance! Just fantastic Gav!

[LukeCaveman]

I just found you on Youtube today, and in that one day you entertained me, surprised me, stunned me, and when u think it doesnt get better you release a new song and you simply blow me away. Those lyrics man they really speak to me and the music is just perfect for it. Hats off and thx!

[90265SE14]

After my second time round having a listen, I cried. Ya need to find someone to help with the kids so you can get yourself out gigging. Hell, I'd fly over there if I could leave work and mind them for free because you'll break my heart if you're only on YouTube. I don't say this to be nice--I'd tell you you sucked if you did. Peace!

[Eddie629]

That was friggin' excellent Gavin !!!***** I'm glad you posted the lyrics too...I like seeing the lyrics posted...sometimes it hits harder while reading along...Just a fantastic original bro...very well done !!cheers !! - Eddie

[90265SE14]

What a treat! Two postings today! I like the words to this. Bravo!
